My family and I found ourselves in Hollywood this weekend to visit Madame Tussauds Hollywood Wax Museum. We made our way down Hollywood Boulevard and the walk of fame when we came upon Madame Tussauds which sat right next door to the world famous TCL Chinese Theatre!
The TCL Chinese Theatre rises 90 feet high and two gigantic coral red columns topped by wrought iron masks hold aloft the bronze roof. Between the columns is a 30 foot high dragon carved from stone. Guarding the theatre entrance to this day are the two original giant Heaven dogs brought over from China. The Chinese Theatre is the most sought after theater in Hollywood for studio premieres. fans often flock to these events to see celebrities arrive and walk up the red carpet into the theatre. Rich in movie tradition, with it's cement hand prints and footprints in the forecourt, the Chinese Theatre immortalizes the biggest stars. More than four million visitors from all over the world visit the Chinese Theatre every year!
So we became five of the four million this year and checked out all the hand and feet print of some of the greatest stars before proceeding to Madame Tussauds!
After we were done looking around the Chinese Theatre we stepped into madametussauds! Upon entering we walked down the red carpet and was greeted by none other than Joan Rivers! There was so much press and paparazzi we didn't know how to act so we just threw up some peace signs it was all a little intimidating being so famous and all...we were a pretty big deal!
Next we took an elevator down a couple floors to The A-List party! It was the hottest party in town that day. We were bumping elbows with Angelina Jolie and Brad Pit, Simon Cowell, Rihanna, Beyonce just to name a few!
Then to my surprise Some lady by the name of Raquel Welch from like One Million Years B.C was trying to pick up my husband...so I clubbed her!!
Iron Man
Captain America
After we interacted with all the great wax figures and took literally hundreds of photographs, we went on to Madame Tussauds latest attraction! Madame Tussauds and Marvel have collaborated to bring a new 4D theater and superhero film for attraction goers!
On July 11, 2014, Madame Tussauds Hollywood announced the grand opening of their brand new, multi-million dollar Marvel super heroes 4D theater expansion bringing their most legendary super heroes to life! The innovative 4D experience with Multi sensory entertainment includes water, smoke, and trembles in your seat, allowing visitors to come face to face with the action! My family thought this was really cool! You really feel like you are in the movie!! It was amazing! The Theater is equipped with 74 seats and a screen size of 25x17 ft for maximum viewing.
Well I can talk all day about the great time we had at Madame Tussauds, but these movies are not going to direct themselves, so I better go!
Madame Tussauds Hollywood is the ultimate fame experience...who do you want to meet???
It would be so fun to go there! I love your pictures. What great memories!

ReplyDeleteLol..cute title for the post! I have been to Madame Tussauds in New York. :) They are so life like, it's amazing!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! My family would love this, too. Looks like you all had a great time.
ReplyDeleteHow fun! I have never been to a wax museum before. I have always wanted too though. The wax statue of Betty White is adorable! I love her!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you all had a really great time. I love places like that.
ReplyDeleteI've never been to a wax museum. I think that I might be unnerved by the realistic looking statues. It looks like it was all fun and games though!
ReplyDeleteThose are some great pictures. I went to the one in Times Square and Vegas and had so much fun.
ReplyDeleteMichelle F.
I know my family would love to go to a place like this. I have been to chinese theatre but never inside.
ReplyDeleteThis Is So Cool I've Been Once When I Was Younger Looks Like You All Enjoyed Yourselves!!
ReplyDeleteWow how fun! Looks like you really had a blast with your family, we'll have to visit a wax museum sometime.
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome time it looks you had! I would love to do something like that.
ReplyDeleteI love wax museums. They just look like so much fun. These figures look SUPER life-like. It's really cool.
ReplyDeleteThere's a group that brought the Wax Museum to PH years ago and I feel bad that I was not able to check it out. So if and when it does come back, I will make sure to visit. You and your husband seemed to have a blast.
ReplyDeleteLol, your photos are rad. Looks like you guys had a lot of fun. In November we tried to go to the wax museum in San Francisco, but it had closed like a week before we went. We were so bummed. I look forward to going sometimes.
ReplyDeleteAll in a day's work, right? Madame Tussaud's is so much fun, we just went to the one in NYC.
ReplyDeleteI remember going to Madame Tussauds in London years ago as a child. So much fun, although it's so busy even if you prebook tickets, it's not somewhere I'd probably take N.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a great time - I love the way you told the story
Looks like a ton of fun! Thanks for all the info!
ReplyDeleteLook at you hobnobbing with the rich and famous, lolol. I love Spidey, that's really cool!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the title of your post. Thanks for sharing your family photos. It looks like a great place to take your family!
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to visit one. Looks like you had so much fun!
ReplyDeleteGood for you on taking care of that hussy, Raquel Welch. ;) What a fun thing to do when you're out there!
ReplyDeleteShe had it coming! LOL...we had a lot of fun!
DeleteI have always wanted to visit one of those! I love the Beyonce photo!
ReplyDeleteI like how you knitted together a story of your visit! Greta sense of humor in your writing.
ReplyDeleteYay fun! It still freaks me out how real they look
ReplyDeleteYou are so much fun! It looks like you and your husband had a great time. I've never been, but I need to visit next time I'm in California.
ReplyDeleteWe have been to the wax museum in Pigeon Forge, TN and they have lots of celebrities too. The best ones are the statues you can pose with like you are really hanging out with a celeb!
ReplyDeleteThey look so lifelike. We missed going to a wax museum on our last vacation but are planning to take the kids to one soon.
ReplyDeleteSO much fun! I want to visit - the pics would be my favorite part.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like such a cute idea! Jealous of your super fun day!
ReplyDeleteMadame Tussauds Hollywood looks pretty awesome! All the characters looks so real.
ReplyDeleteI've never been to Madame Tussauds but will be visiting this place next time..
ReplyDeleteI went to the one in Vegas, it was creepy and cool at the same time.
ReplyDeleteI love the wax museum. It's funny how good some of the characters look and how weird others do. I love seeing how tall the people are - I assume they are as accurate as possible on that.
ReplyDeleteThe Oval Office is the picture I would have to have. Seems the least likely of all the REAL shots I will ever get.
ReplyDeleteI love this place!! It's so much fun.
ReplyDeleteOh how much fun, I've always wanted to go there but haven't made it yet. I love how life-like everything is. :-)
ReplyDeleteI just visited the one in San Antoinio. So much fun!
ReplyDeleteHow cool! We have Madame Tussaud's in NYC but I still haven't had a chance to go.
ReplyDeleteThis place looks sooo awesome!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like so much fun! I almost went to the Madame Tussaud's in NYC last month!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like so much fun! When I was in Hollywood I wanted to go there but it never happened. I have heard they look real! It looks like you had a great time.
ReplyDeleteHow incredibly fun!!! I'd love to visit there.
ReplyDeleteI love going to places like that!
ReplyDeleteI admit, I HAD to read the post after seeing your title. Too funny!
